Both teas look lovely, last time I had rose tea was at Harrod's at the Ladure, and it really is lovely, smells nice too!

Merry new year!

Hello all, seems a while since I last blogged, as my laptop decided to go and break and then I fell ill.
Although I am still recovering, blogging today has cheered me up :)

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and new year, and that you all got lovely gifts from Santa! 

I took a little photo of a few of the lovely things I woke up to on Christmas morning :)
(excuse the flash bleaching)


 

1. A little zombie fairy doll (weird yet cute, just my style), 
2. A 1920's camera, can't wait to get a film in it and have a go, I'll post my results.
3. Sophie Dahl's cookery book. I think she's lovely, and so are her recipes.
4. Alice in Wonderland on DVD. I adore anything Wonderland!!!
5. Red leather driving gloves from my brother. I've worn them to death already.
6. I got 2 vintage glass perfume bottles, the green one in the photo, and a gold-ish one as well, both beautiful!
7. I also got 2 vintage Stratton compacts. The one with daisies on in the photo, and another with deco designs which is pride of place in my handbag.

I received some other beautiful things too, for both Christmas and my birthday, to which I would like to say thank you to my best friends who know me so well and made me very happy on my 22nd!

Anyway, now I have my laptop back, I will maintain my blogging habit :)

Happy 2011 everyone!

Pink christmas

Last year I hunted down little feather birds for my christmas tree, and by the time I had found them, the tree I wanted had sold out  :(

So I made sure this year that I got my hands on my pretty tree to put the little birdys on.
My tree is pride of place on my windowsill and it makes me smile :)

Another snow day

It took me an hour and a half to attempt to drive to work yesterday morning before I gave up and came home. This morning, I couldn't even get off the drive way. So I went for a little wander with my camera and very shivery hands.




8.30am - The field opposite my house.

8.30 am - The sea wall  (How cold does the sea look...brrrr..)

8.30 am - I love the icecles hanging from the garage roof :)

RED SHOES!

 I have an undying love for red shoes, even more so after I tried the pair with bows on (below) while wearing my red winter coat :)

H&M have the most beautiful winter collection of reds at the moment, You just want to try every single dress on. Plus their shops looks so very christmasy!
